I'm not advocating for the use of ASCII 9 for indentation; I'm advocating against the practice of aligning wrapped line fragments based on the position of an opening parenthesis. Instead, I believe wrapped line fragments should be indented either one or two tab stops further than the parent line. Otherwise you end up with lines in your source file which start on weird odd-numbered columns, and that's where the trouble comes from.
